butt dyno maybe kinda numb from the cold spell????
as far as installation;
I was rear-ended a few months ago and I had the body shop purchase and install the y-pipe under the claim (my exhaust was kind of pushed forward)
I also had them use a plasma cutter on my computer's side and top panel, custom cut and insert a plexi window in the side and finally give it the same paint job as the Maxi.

Anyway, long story short. Track times showed a gain of a .4 sec and 4-5mph in my 1/4 mile times.

how does one reset the ECU?

[B]Are Y-pipes for 99 SE's mod-friendly with the ECU, OBDII, an the o2 sensors??
Yes, mine has had no problems at all. all of the holes are there for the o2 sensors and i never tripped a code. Later i got the PRcai only in hai form(no saw) and still no problems.

As far as i know there is still a lot of debate about the ecu reset. some say no reset, some say yes reset. For the yes reset there are those who say to just unplug the battery, some say just for a second, others say for at least 24 hours. Others still say to reset the ecu by actually going through the process of manually reseting it.
personally i just reset it by unplugging the battery for a second(i hate dealing with car electronics and such) and i noticed immediate gains in power, mostly my tires spinning wildly and huge torque steer above around 3500 rpms.
good luck and remember you can try all of them. youll just have to reset your clock and radio stations

well like i said i hate electronics. all you have to do to reset by disconecting the battery is open your hood(duh), youll need a metric tool set, i used a ratchet with an extension. on the side of the battery terminals(those two humps + & -) there are bolts(one for each terminal). loosen these and pull the metal rings/clamps, whatever you call them off the terminals. this is the point where you can immediately reattach them or leave them off for the magic 24 hours.
IMPORTANT when you retighten the clamp thingies to the terminals be sure to put them on the terminals even by holding the clamps down on 2 sides.
its easy, and if and when you do this, it would be a good time to clean any corrosion from your terminals. i use water mixed with baking soda to clean them off.
good luck

Two question regarding the Y-pipe....Do you get what you pay for as far as Budget Y pipe and the Stillen I think it is? Also, I don't race or anything like that, in fact my car is totally stock right, but I do like to drive rather fast. My question is would a Y Pipe make a difference in day to day driving? I am getting a K&N drop in filter but that's about all....

*PS- I'm being objective. I've had a Warpspeed, and now own a Cattman, so I'm not pushing what I have. I've seen Budget's pipe firsthand and it might not be as pretty too look at, but it get the job done and does the same function as all other Y-pipes.
And yes you'll feel the gains. I noticed a big difference in 50+MPH driving, the car pulls much more.
